MORTIMER WHITEHEAD.

Congress has adjourned, and, looking
over it's work, members of the Grange
have reason to rejoice at the progress
made towards proper recognition OF
the just claims of agriculture for fair
and equal legislation, and voice in the
councils # the Nation. Never b,fore
have the advantages Of organized effort
been so plainly shown. Without doubt,
more than through all other causes COM
bined, farmers united In the Grange Sc
cured The passage of the Interstate
commerce bill, defeated the persistent
efforts-coutinued from other years-to
remove all Tariff duties upon raw ma
terials," preserved from amendment or
destruction the oleomargarine law,
again had the secretary of Agriculture"
bill pass the House Of Representatives,
and for the first time secured the endorse
ment of the Senate for so just a measure,
which was only finally lost in the rush
of business during the closing hours.
Yes, we can report progress, and our
Order stands brighter and better before
the country and the world than ever be-
fore.

We Protest.

We do not think that the street CO mmit.
tee should be content with covering our
streets with coating of broken stone, and
with imposing upon the carriages and
wagons the duty Of reducing them to
smoOthness. This is what is done 10y
turnpike companies, but the city of Lam
caster should show greater public spirit
The city macadamizes its streets for the
benefit of the traffic upon them and makes
no special charge for the service. 1t is a
contribution to the public comfort which
is made by every city that has the means to
do it and knows that it is TO its interest to
make its highways to be easily traversed.
This same motive should compel the city
to cover the stones it puts upon the streets,
since they are not easily travelled upon
when their coating is of loose stones. We
protest strenuously against the folly OF
leaving the highways in this condition
There has been a madness for stoning the
streets this spring, and it is not possible tc
pass anywhere from side to side of The
town without encountering these ston,
quarres. 1t is scandalous shame tha
this imposition should be put upon us. I,
would have been wise to make less repair
and do properly what was done.

The town Of Mansfield, Wisconsin, was
almost wiped out of existence by the spark
OF . locomotive last Monday. At least that
spark started fire in q lumber yard that did
not stop until q million dollars worth of
property had been resolved into smoke and
ashes and eco people had been rem
dered homeless; and in contemplation OF
this hot fact there is given force and value to
the recent announcement of the successful
use OF crude petroleum ~ a fuel for locomO-
uVes. 1t makes no sparks, no s,uCke o or dust
and even IL II were more xpeneive tLan tho
present fuel the use OF II should bs forced
upon the roads Is a measure of public safety.
There Is one very serious consideration in
the matter, however, in the fact that the
Standard Oil company will control it. The
experiments have been carried on by the
Standard company and the railroad has
simply given lis engines for the test, but
the results seem to show that the Inferior
Lima Oil Is sufficient for the purpose. 1t
has been very widely developed aud is found
In natural gas regions, where It is not needed
for fuel 1t is practically useless for any
other purpose and closely resembles the
Baku petroleum in use on the Russian rail-
roads The Pittsburg Post is authority for
the statement that the cost of residuum con-
sumed in the test between Altoona and Pitts
burg was only 81 50. Lima oil would not
cost more than g.. In the regions where
forest fires are started every year by the
sparks OF locomotives the use OF petroleum
would seem to be imperative. The Post
places Implicit faith in the ability OF the
Standard to solve the question, but the con-
troll held by that company Is the only alloy to
the JOY felt over this discovery.

The Peruvian Trust.

That is very large scheme which is
reported from New York, whereby the
Peruvian Trust, a London syndicate with
ramitications in New York, have under
taken to relieve Peru of its national
indebtedness, in return for which they are
to have control, for series of years. of its
railroads, guano deposits. coal mines,
cinnabar mines, silver and copper mines,
together with four millions of acres of the
public domain, along with the exclusive
right to issue paper money.
1t is said that the example of Peru is likely
to be followed by Chill, Ecuador, Bolivia
and others of the impecunious spanish
American states that lie in the southern
half of the Western hemisphere. 1t would
be unfortunate for the autonomy of thes,
other states if they should be under
servitude to the money kings of Londor
and New York for such sway is bount
eventually to become tyrannical, because il
is essentially self. seeking.

A Hole In the George Theory.

Henry Georges theories and plans are
based on the idea that q tax on land alone
equal to its rent, would yield revenue SC
vast that the state would be enabled to dc
many things undresmed of by modern gov.
ernments. He builds imposing Spanish
castles on this foundation, and tells how by
this readjustment of human affairs poverty
will be abolished, wages raised and the
earnings Of capital increased, while morals,
taste and intelligence will be elevated, and
government purified.
For he holds that nearly all the evils of
modern civilization spring from the une-
quail distribution Of wealth, which he be-
lieves his system can prevent. But, better
yet, he says n" We could establish public
baths, museums, Libraries, gardens, lecture
rooms, music and dancing halls, theatres,
universities, technical schools, shooting gal.
leries, play grounds, gymnasiums, etc.
Heat, Light and motive power, as well as
water, might be conducted through our
streets, discoverers and inventors re-
warded, scientific Investigations supported
ands thousand ways the public revenues
made to foster efforts for the public ben
e6t."

Professor W. T. Harris, with some large
figures in the Forum, that leave Mr..
Georges castle hanging in the air without
apparent foundation. He shows that this

dcant sum. In 1880 the land in the United
States held as private property, had value
OF ten billions of dollars, which at ground
rent OF per cent. would give s4OO, ,OOO, 900.
This Is very little more than the total
amount annually paid for local and state
taxss, while the to- al taxation amounts to
very nearly $500 ,0OO,O 900. Professor Harris
now snat to pay all taxes with ground
